with the cletones, and now jimmy kimmel. [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: thank you. welcome. welcome, guillermo. welcome. thank you. thank you. very nice. i'm jimmy. i am the host of the show. thank you for watching. thank you for joining us here in our home in beautiful hollywood, california, for what is our final show of the year. and this one has been a strange year. it has been a hard year. we've had some highs. we've had some lows for me, maybe more than any year of my life, i'm crying already. sorry. but on behalf of all of us here at our show, i want to say that we appreciate your support, your enthusiasm, and not just for

watching, this year you literally pulled us out of a hole, and we cannot thank you enough personally, [ cheers and applause ] this is not an easy -- i know there are a lot harder jobs. this isn't an easy job to do, and sometimes it feels like we're spinning our wheels. you see so many awful and destructive acts, all this damage we inflict on ourselves on purpose, and it can make you feel crazy trying to wrap your head around these things that are so clearly wrong. you grow up reading "superman" and you learn the value of truth, justice, and the american way, and then you start to realize, especially over the last year, you don't know where that all went. you don't know what the american way even is anymore, but when i hear from people who tell me that they watch our show and the shows that my friends and colleagues do on the other channels and that, it makes them feel less crazy. it makes me feel less crazy too. [ applause ] and i think that's important, and i also will confirm had

that we let our friends in other countries who watch the show on youtube, on instagram, hulu, wherever, know that a lot of us are not okay with what is happening. there is still more good in this country than bad, and we hope that you will bear with us during this extended psychotic episode that we're in the middle of. and we wish you a happy whatever holiday you celebrate, even if it's none of the above. right, guillermo? >> guillermo: right, jimmy. >> jimmy: and we are not the only ones marking the end of a year on television. the president offered his end-of-year message last night in prime time. he addressed the nation, and, you know what, he was in pretty good form. >> hey, it's gary busey. and i have got a great christmas present for you. listen to this, aaagh. aaagh. that's what a goose sounds like when they're flying. >> jimmy: hold on. that's not the president. that's his apprentice. that is our next deputy director of the fbi, but it wasn't much

different in speech last night. he was downright busey-esque! the president had limited time last night. his speech was interrupting the season finale of "survivor," so he went a mile a minute. he was shouting, he was racing through the script. it was 18 straight minutes of him yelling. it's like the whole country got to experience what it was like to be eric in the eighth great, but while his delivery was erratic, his message was insane. >> one year ago our country was dead. we were absolutely dead. our country was ready to fail. totally fail. now we're the hottest country anywhere in the world. >> jimmy: maybe we'll get lucky and in a few years he'll leave us for a younger, hotter country. [ laughter and applause ] i mean, there were so many lies. eleven fact checkers died watching that speech last night. he packed a lot of crap into 18 minutes. at some points, it was hard to tell if he was giving a speech

or having a seizure on tv. >> it's a record that won't be beaten by practically i would say by anybody. you see that now and the steep increase in premiums, the 250th anniversary. really, i mean, they just released that extra -- really just took the wealth from people and remember that. wages, just look at it. >> jimmy: that's why i told you to stay out of don jr's medicine cabinet. you don't listen. [ applause ] the purpose of the speech was to highlight his alleged achievements over the past year before we find out what's in those epstein files. tomorrow at midnight is the deadline for the justice department to finally release the files. twas' the night before epstein, and all through the white house, they are [ bleep ] their stockings to see what comes out. congress passed a law requiring the doj to make the files public by tomorrow, and the law is something our 34-time convicted felon president takes very seriously.

[ laughter ] here's my question, so if the justice department holds the files back or edits the files and breaks the law, who arrests them? canada? i mean, seriously, would they handcuff themselves? “i have the right to remain silent.” "the new york times today" published a story that says trump's relationship with his bf jeff was “far closer and far more complex than the president now admits.” it has details about parties at mar-a-lago where girls as young as 14 were offered alcohol, and there's a story about epstein with a 14-year-old elbowing trump and saying this, is a good one, right? but that's all fake news, i'm sure. i mean, i can't say for certain that trump was up all night worrying about this, but here he is at the signing for an executive order expanding medical research for cannabis today. >> this reschedule manying has the potential to change all that and the way we write research in the united states. three way, first, delta demock kra advertise -- ♪

[ laughter ] >> jimmy: i wish lash let me tell you, i wish the next time he falls asleep on camera, they would all sneak out. it would be the best thing ever. goldie yawn did wake up long enough to take a victory lap over the unanimous vote to change the name of “the kennedy center” to “the trump kennedy center.” this is something he's been angling for. trump said he was "surprised" and "honored" by this unanimous vote from the “distinguished board.” what he did not mention is that he appointed every member of the distinguished board and made himself chairman, and now he's putting his name on the place. a spokesperson for the center said “the unanimous vote recognizes that the current chairman saved the institution from financial ruin and physical destruction.” again, not mentioning he was the

one threatening to destroy the building. he saved it from himself! and his name is going to be on it. and as for that claim about financial ruin, since he took the rinderknecht -- reins at the kennedy center, ticket sales and subscriptions have plummeted. everything is a lie. jfk's nephew, joseph kennedy iii is upset. he said “the kennedy center is a living memorial to a fallen president and named for president kennedy by federal law. it can no sooner be renamed than can someone rename the lincoln memorial” to which trump responded, ooh, good idea. maybe i'll squeeze myself in next to abe on that chair. he wants his name on everything. why stop there? why not just rename the whole town washington d.t. there you, got it. it's yours. [ laughter ] and then we have jfk's other nephew, the nutty one, who held a press conference with dr. oz this afternoon to announce that the government is cracking down on “transgender for everyone.”

bobby brain worm and mehmet the frog are finally putting a stop to something that almost never happens. children having sex change operations, which oz will tell you costs a lot of money! >> shockingly the creation of a penis costs on average in america according to this data, high quality, $150,000 per child. and i must point out that the creation of a vagina in that case or a extra. >> jimmy: that's how they get ya.! you think you're just going in for a penis, you think the testicles are part of a set. nope. they don't even come in pairs. you pay per ball for those. and then dr. oz ceded the podium to the deputy secretary of health and human services, mr. jim o'neill who broke it down for those who like him do not have a medical degree.

>> men are men. men can never become women. women are women. women can never become men. [ applause ] >> jimmy: my god, he's heartbroken! that is one of the saddest mantras i've ever heard recited. why do i get the idea he's saying that to himself in the mirror every night? >> men are men. men can never become women. >> jimmy: you see that. never say never, jim. you have to believe in yourself. and you have to be yourself. this is what they're talking about. while healthcare prices for millions of americans are about to skyrocket, it appears that republicans in congress are going to let obamacare subsidies expire at the end of this month. i guess trump is still working on those concepts of a plan he's had for ten years now. at one point during his speech last night, he claimed to have

lowered drug prices by 600%, which is a mathematical impossibility. that would mean we would be getting paid to take drugs, which would be nice. i'd be for that. that would be fine with me, but his plan for healthcare right now his plan is a one-time check for $2,000. that would cover a family premium for january for one month. the rest of the year, you're on your own. just be careful. try not to touch anything. and the squeaker of the house, mike johnson, is doing his best to pretend that this is not their fault. >> and, again, this is just the first of many. we're going to do more of this in the first quarter of next year. republicans are the ones who will fix healthcare. it is the democrats who broke it. >> jimmy: right, right. fun fact, the elf mike johnson weighs more than the real one. tonight is the fifth night of chanukah and president trump celebrated the festival of lights at the white house and reminded those in attendance that, thanks to him, people are saying happy hanukkah again. >> when they reclaimed the holy

temple they found only a single flask of sacred oil to keep the menorah's light burning for one night. they wanted that light to burn for just one night, yet as the story goes, that small flame endured for eight days. do you know that story? does everybody know that story? >> jimmy: no, this is the first we're hearing it. [ laughter ] eight day, you say, well, that's like a miracle. only donald trump would ask a room full of jewish people if they know the story of chanukah. >> happy chanukah. we love you all and we love israel. thank you very much. >> jimmy: that's right. the white house should ask santa for new speakers this year. the celebration of chanukah -- >> gary: deidle deedle deidle deedle. >> jimmy: what was that? >> guillermo: happy chanukah.

>> gary: happy chanukah! >> jimmy: not again! i'm sorry. this is gary greenberg, one of our writers. he created this ridiculous character called the chanucorn. >> the magical chanukah unicorn who brings us cheer at this special time of year. >> jimmy: and every year he interrupts my monologue with some half-baked bit. what is it this time? >> gary: thank you for asking. i am pleased to bring you the network television debut of my new boy band. >> jimmy: you have a boy band? >> gary: i do, it's kosher pop or as i call it, k-pop! >> jimmy: i think k-pop is already taken by korea. >> gary: i heard, and we are currently facing some litigation on that, but the holidays cease and desist for no one. so without further ajew, ladies and gentlemen, please put your hands together - for ibs! [ applause ] >> jimmy: their name is ibs? >> gary: yes. >> jimmy: ibs?

that's the name of the band. >> gary: yeah, like bts. ibs, it stands for the irresistible boy squad and nothing else! do you want to meet the boys?! >> jimmy: not at all, no. >> gary: please welcome kyle-corn. he's the cute one. >> shalom shawty. want to go for a nosh? >> gary: next, we have yehudacorn. he's the chilly one. [ cheers and applause ] >> it feels very drafty in here. could somebody get me a shawl? >> gary: and lastly, marvin-corn! >> jimmy: what? marvin corn? >> gary: he's my brother-in-law and he's staying with us over the holidays. he's had a bad breakup. >> jimmy: okay, all right. >> i can't believe barbara wants a divorce!

[ applause ] >> jimmy: okay. well, it was nice to meet you all. >> jimmy: no, they are about to sing. >> gary: how ironic that mr. freedom of speech is trying to silence these poor boys. you know who also wouldn't be letting us perform? >> jimmy: don't you dare say hitler. >> gary: hitler! [ laughter ] >> jimmy: okay, good-bye. good-bye. >> gary: no, jimmelah, dont be a nudnik. give the people what they want. everybody, we want ibs!

time. do you show your kids? of course, the movie is awesome. >> jimmy: good. how old are your kids? >> 3 and 4 so strike zone, yeah, perfect. two boy, i'm the maker of men, humble brag, yes, yes, but -- >> jimmy: do they put two and two together that dad is the kid? >> well, they don't call it "home alone." they call it "kevin." good taste. they have no idea. they have no idea who they're sitting next to the entire time. >> jimmy: wow. >> i'm trying to keep it that way like santa claus. >> jimmy: this is like most kids just have that whole santa thing. you have this extra secret. >> it's great. i'm trying to bottle it up for as long as i can. it's going could come out. we were looking at a family photo. wanted to see me and my siblings. we were looking at it and immediately just turned right to me and said who is that kid? it looks just like kevin. your aunt over here. that kind of thing but, you know, they were talking to their little cousin. she's like 5 years old, something like that and saying tonight we're going to watch

kevin and turned to me and said, you're kevin. shut up. you're kevin. >> jimmy: don't make uncle kevin mad. >> i want that moment sitting on the couch and watching the movie and go -- >> jimmy: i don't think -- >> and i'm going to go yeah, uh-huh, this whole time. >> jimmy: i think you'll have to be more active than that. you'll have to have joe pesce and daniel stern bang on the house and drag you out or something like that. >> i'm sure joe pesce is 82. i'm sure he can take a fall. >> jimmy: what is it like -- how old were you when you shot "home alone." >> 9. want to know how old i am now? >> jimmy: with joe pesce when you're 9 years old. >> he was a -- we didn't really work a lot together on the first one. if you think, like they're over there doing their thing and i'm doing my thing. >> jimmy: oh, okay. >> but we did work together, it was like the last day of work, and we're doing that scene where it's, you know, they catch me, i'm in the neighbor's house and they catch me and put up on the little hook and they -- you

know, they're going to do -- waiting, setting up the cameras and lights and he's like, he turns to daniel and he goes, you guys want to run lines, i was like, yeah, sure, i don't have any lines in the scene so have at it. so i'm dangling there and he goes, you know, gets to the part i'm going to bite each one of these fingers off one at a time and, yeah, he actually bit me. [ laughter ] he did. you see his face. he's grizzled and stuff like that and you should have seen, he bit me and i went aah and he went ooh. because you don't bite a 9-year-old. a vulnerable 9-year-old. >> jimmy: you can't bite a 9-year-old. >> he wrote a co-worker and -- hr was all over him. >> jimmy: there was no hr back then. >> i still have a little scar right there. >> jimmy: for real? is that really a joe pesce bite scar. >> just in case they need to identify the body. >> jimmy: did they give him a rabies test? >> i didn't squeal on him. that's why he liked me.

>> jimmy: how much of the stunt work did you do in that movie? >> oh, none. i was 9, yes. insurance. >> jimmy: so they have somebody playing you. >> yes. >> jimmy: is it an adult? is it a kid they don't like as much in value? >> so, here's how it went down. i'm, you know, doing wardrobe tests and all that kind of stuff changing into different outfits. so i'm going out there like checking out, you know, just seeing that they like it or whatever and i bumped into this person and there he is. he's dressed exactly like me, haircut and all that stuff. oh, hey, like who are you? he's i'm larry. [ laughter ] oh, hi, larry. what do you do here? i'm your stunt double. this awkward silence and finally goes how old do you think i am? i know it's a trick question. it's loaded. i'm 9 so he's much older. 13? [ laughter ] and he's like, you're funny kid so we didn't work together a lot but what happened we'd watch the dailies, the stuff we shot the day before and there was a scene where kevin is climbing the shelf in buzz's room and it

falls down and so it's the first take, all falls down. it looks really vicious, it looks painful and they like, something didn't fall right so they had to do it again so they do it again and like not good enough and do it again and they do it again and they do it again and finally i go, please take it easy on larry. he's only 13 years old. [ applause ] >> jimmy: when you are suddenly very, very famous at that age, are you able to go anywhere? do you wear disguises to just go out in public? how does it work? >> you can't put on a fake mustache when you're 9. it doesn't quite work. >> jimmy: no. >> it just happened really fast. it was just, you know, one day i was a neighborhood kid. i was shooting "my girl" in orlando, florida. not to be -- but -- there was a community center there and i play video games with the kids and we'd ride bikes and i remember after that movie came

out, i was watching tv and then in the window right next to it i saw some heads pop up and i run over, what's that and it was a bunch of these kids running away. i know those guys. like they used to be my friends. we used to ride bikes together and i go, oh, rules have changed now. life is different. >> jimmy: that's a bummer. >> yeah but i'm also -- i'm a delicate snowflake. i'm very unique. yeah, yeah. >> jimmy: so then you took a break for like ten years when you were a teenager or so and at that time were you able then to integrate like get a summer job, like a regular kid, do normal things. >> i just wanted to go to school and hang out with people my own age and always working with adults and when i was acting i wasn't part of a "goonies" or "monster squad" or an ensemble of kids. >> jimmy: your family abandoned you twice. >> that's right. twice. >> jimmy: arrests should have been made in that second movie. >> but, yeah, so i just wanted to go to school. i wanted to kiss girls and go to

parties and things like that so that's how i spent a big chunk of it and, you know, you start thinking about what you want to do with the rest of your life. it's funny, i never pursued this really. i never was tugging on my parents' sleeve going, mommy, daddy, i want to be an actor. i also wasn't british when i was a kid. >> jimmy: that's true. i know that about you. >> yeah. [ laughter ] but, no, it was something that found me and i'm kind of blessed that way when i was kind of thinking about what i want to do with my life and i was like, yeah, how fortunate i am that i can find a line of work that found me. it feels like it's my calling and found me at such a young age so i had to come back around to it. i had to walk away from it because it was kind of -- it was a lot. >> jimmy: you are back in the middle of it. you got "fallout" and "zootopia." we'll talk more with macaulay culkin when we come back after this.

>> jimmy: you do? >> both my boys believe in santa because, you know, we have -- we have security cameras at the house so i'll do a little glimpse of me lugging the presents in. just so they get a little -- just enough to go, hang on, rewind. play that again. you know. it's. >> jimmy: oh, wow. >> me and my wife. >> jimmy: do you do it every year. >> i do it every year. >> jimmy: and every year they say let's check the cameras. >> we have a check back and got a drone this time so i might put that up. >> jimmy: oh, really? >> santa can pull up in his three-cab truck. >> jimmy: wow, okay. >> he still believes. could be the last year my 10-year-old believes. >> jimmy: and ruins it for the 7-year 7-year-old. maybe do something weird on camera. >> back in the day my mum used to make my dad put up the trampoline in the backyard. >> jimmy: at night on christmas. >> at nighttime and australians

love a beer so my father -- that's how i -- dad had a few too many beers and banged his thumb with the hammer. oh. so i thought somebody was out in the backyard. and it's dad. go to bed. go to bed. >> jimmy: you -- this case, this alex murdaugh is, for those not familiar with that big trial that happened and all that stuff, tell us a little about that story if you would. >> bad man. >> jimmy: yeah. >> he, you know, we really show the story before he's in the jumpsuit in the orange. we all know him as a prisoner if you do know him. he was a lawyer that had basically a ponzi scheme that it was a trial law for accidents and injury and won these big cases but he kept the money thinking i'll pay it back or i'll take this person's money but he kept -- he was living large on other people's money and he got so underwater so out of control with life and drugs and, you know, pills that he was taking and that he eventually

killed his wife and his son. horrific. it's just -- you know, it's unimaginable. >> jimmy: it is and yet it actually happened. >> yet it actually happened, yeah, then it came out, not only the murder, but then it came out, you know, how much he'd stolen from paraplegics and people that had nothing that he had taken their money and also that he fooled the entire community. you know that trusted him and loved him and the judge at the end of the trial said i've known for you for 20 years and yet i have no idea who you are, alex. >> jimmy: you gained quite a bit of weight for this role. let's get a photo of that. there you are with patriciay arquette. how seriously do you think the santa thing -- do you gain weight for that? roll or two or is it just for paying projects? >> it is. my boys still laugh at me. you know what i mean. >> jimmy: yeah. >> they do. >> jimmy: is that a bummer when they say you'll have to gain all that weight then you have to lose all that weight. >> it hurts. really hurts, you know, i have to lie in bed and put my feet up

against the wall because i was so swollen and heavy and then because he was such a consumer of everything. you know, whether it was sugar or drinks or air or oxygen or your emotions or your time, he's a very dominating figure and then the funny thing he went to trial and had to give up the drugs, he -- he was in jail, he was exercising and he looked better an stronger and so just wanted to give that sense of the weight, the juxtaposition of as he came to facing his consequences, he looked better and he looked like the younger man that he could have been. >> jimmy: do you know if he has hulu now in prison? [ laughter ] >> i hope he does. i hope he does. you know, i really do, you know what i mean? >> jimmy: yeah. >> i mean, you know, it's a very fun in i thing. jerry west famously was unhappy with the trailer. >> jimmy: the portrayal but not the content. >> there was content but you're playing people. you know, i played senator ted

kennedy as well. you're playing these real people and this man is still out there and still in prison. his son got married and, look, i was always struck by the constitution of the man that he is still going. he's not giving up. he's not admitting it. he hasn't killed himself. he hasn't fallen into a heap. he's still out there, you know, telling himself that he did not do it. >> jimmy: it's inspiring. >> yeah. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: it's great to see you. >> you showed some clips. sometimes you have to keep going. >> jimmy: i wish you and your family a merry christmas. i hope you squeeze a couple more years of santa out of the kids. >> so do i. >> jimmy: great to see you. jason clarke, everybody. all episodes of “murdaugh: death in the family” are on hulu right now. we'll be back with dawes & friends.

>> jimmy: thanks to macaulay culkin and jason clarke. apologies to matt damon.
